TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: v

Bei't li rio wn that LTRA PAGE, of Adams, in the county of Jefferson,and State of New York, have invented a. new and useful Improvement inthe \Ianufaeture of Butter from Whey and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the art to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a, new and improved mode of manufacturingbutter from whey; and the invention consists in, first, setting the wheyin clear and clean vessels or vats, where, having allowed it to remainfor twenty-four (24) hours, skim or take off the cream; second, then addto the cream, for ten (10) pounds of butter, one (1) ounce of saltpetre,first dissolved and filtered, and, having mixed it thoroughly with. thecream, churn immediotely.- i 1 I x i The saltpetre dissolves themembranous coverings-of the atoms of cre'um, and also actsuse-preservative.

Butter having thus been produced, wash it in cold water, andv then workit thoroughly, after which add one (1) pound of salt, and one-quarter (ipound of white sugar, ground fine, and again work it thoroughly, when itis fit for use, or for being packed.

The solution of nitre is mixed'with the cream before churning, in orderto purify the crenni from the cheesy taste and quality derived from theuse of rennet in the milk.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters'Putent, is-' The improved mode of manufacturing butterfrom whey, suhstantinlly as and for the purpose described.
